Apr. 8 Cash $3,200 Treasury Stock $3,200

May 2 Cash $6,500 Treasury Stock $6,500

b) There are two methods for recording Treasury Stock transactions.  One is the cost method.  This method ignores the par value and the difference between the par value and the cost.  It uses the cost to record the repurchase and resale of treasury shares.  The second method is the par value method.  This method differentiates the par value and cost for both repurchase and resale of treasury stock shares.  The differences are recorded in the Additional Paid-in Capital account so that only the par values are recorded in the Treasury account.
